25 Day Update
Dec. 4th, 2006 01:32 amOF DOOM! (not really)
I hit my point of being beyond stress this week-end. I have a bridesmaid who still hasn't picked up her dress yet. It resides in my closet and I often grumble and curse as I walk by. Saturday, I walked by and just kind of sighed. She'll get it or she won't and I no longer care. Sadly, I can probably attribute that to finding more exciting things to stress about. Like my MIL
( Cut so Steven can skip )
I finished the kids' gift bags on Friday during Battlestar. They're getting colouring books, ColourWonder markers, bubbles, a Darth Tater, and a royal blue and white elephant that donated some of the proceeds to Make A Wish. I did the girls' gift bags tonight. Nicki's going to see the before the wedding anyway, but they are as followed: blue satin bag with silver lining and beads filled with their necklace, their gloves, and chocolate hazelnut coffee. Groomsmen are getting their yarmulkes (blue with silver edging) and Jack Daniels coffee.
My next round of dress fitting is Tuesday. I should be doing a hair trial this week, maybe Thursday after my gyno appointment. I have my shoes in the car so I won't forget them. Steven and I are going to start dancing soon as we fold the rest of the laundry and get our tree or we'll go to Mum's and use the studio. Centrepieces are done and are amazingly beautiful. I should take pictures eventually. I should charge my batteries.
We're doing the catering on Thursday, too, and our tasting. I have all my make-up except a lip liner now and a brush for the eye gloss. It's awesome because it was free and also idiot-proof, which I definitely need. I kind of need to do a trial run of the makeup and take some pictures to see what it looks like. Oh, and insoles for my dancing shoes.
I did have a stroke of luck today. I was randomly googling vintage marriage certificates and found this one. I did a double take. That's the same one my great-great grandparents have, the woman whose South Sea circlet I will be wearing down the aisle. I also came across this tiara. I have one for the reception, but this caught my eye weeks ago and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Mum ordered both for me. I suck because my mummy still buys me things.
Oh and Sam the Bellydancer is all set music and costumewise. She went over the 4 songs she's doing for us and we helped her decide on her costume. We got delicious chinese out of it as well.
Steven and I broke down and bought a new shower curtain and hooks for the bathroom. It's pretty and it definitely matches everything else we already have, as well as our burgeoning colour scheme. We also bought a discounted Mistletoe candle. Oh and a shower organiser. Works amazingly.
Ok, must go to sleep. Ambien is kicked in.
